Forbes: Why China’s Largest Cryptocurrency, NEO, Is Aiming To Build A Smart Economy

NEO, formerly founded as AntShares in 2014, is building a smart economy that aims to make ownership of non-digital assets more transparent, verifiable and universally connected. “NEO is an open network for a smart economy so it’s not just a platform for smart contracts. We’re aiming to serve the future smart economy, which we define as a digitized, programmable and trustless economy.”

The ICO sought investment to support the development of the Telegram messenger app and its own Blockchain platform Telegraph Open Network. While the document does not disclose the identity of investors, 94 different entities took part in the ICO, which started on March 14.

Forbes: An Explanation For The Rise Of ‘Stable Coins’ As A Low-Volatility Cryptocurrency

There is a growing desire to bring stability to the cryptocurrency market, which is now being done through the implementation of “stable coins”. Stable coins – also known as the “holy grail of cryptocurrency” – are price-stable cryptocurrencies, with a market price that is pegged to another stable asset, like the U.S. dollar. Stable coins share many of the features of Bitcoin, yet are far less volatile. In theory, this makes stable coins ideal and usable as a store of value and a basic medium of exchange.
